0 dbFS is more like 0 degrees Kelvin.
0 Kelvin is as cold as it is possible to go, and 0 dbFS is as high as it
is possible to go.

Ah .. but degrees F does have a reference in reality.

Well, not quite.
VU has its own well defined ballistics that take into account
the moving mass, and therefore momentum, of the needle, as well
as the magnetic damping t

0 db
That makes sense, Bill. I disregarded the Full Scale.
The program in question is Democracy Now, and we have to boost the volume every
day. We also insert underwriting messages in the two breaks of the show, so it
can run unattended, but that’s done in an audio editor on a Mac.
When I look at the
Simon,
0 dB in Rivendell is 0 dBFS (Full Scale) the highest value that can be
represented digitally. 0 dBFS is +18 dBVU (or +20 if you're SMTPE). So the
default normalization Rivendell uses (-13 dBFS) is already +5 dBVU.
To go to +3 dBFS you need to make a 16 bit AtoD converter take 17 bits. 😀
I believe this is the digital scale where 0dB is absolute max before
distortion so you would not want it at that level. I wonder if it has audio
spikes that cause the average level to be much lower. As I understand it,
normalization limits all the audio to the peaks to whatever level you set
it to
We download a program that’s always lower volume than it should be. The most I
can normalize in RDCatch is -1. Is there any way to set that to something like
+3 dB?
